Thanks mom and dad for a great Christmas. It is always fun to be together even if it is only for a day. 
This is my cute mom and sisters. Every year my mother-in-law throws a caroling party and a cookie decorating party. Both were wonderful as usual.
These are just a few of the cookies. The other Stodtmeister tradition is to go to Ryan's aunts house for Christmas Eve. Santa and Mrs. Clause come and give everyone one gift and then run off to finish delivering the rest of the gifts to the entire world :)

Me and Santa
This is Ryan's brothers, cousins, their children, and family friends
Christmas at the Stodtmeisters was a little different because Kipp (Ryan's little brother) had to work Christmas morning so we did Christmas morning on Christmas Eve. We had a great time opening gifts and playing the rest of the evening.
Ryan's got a new guitar so we are all expecting wonderful music from him now. The boys got the new Guitar Hero Three and the new Nintendo Wii. So the next 2 weeks were filled with video games. Ryan and Kyle started it off with staying up until 3am on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day we woke up early with Kipp and opened our stocking from Santa and then spent the rest of the day being lazy, playing with our toys, and taking naps. Christmas dinner was low key but really nice.
On the 27th we packed up the UHaul and drove Rusty back to BYU for the winter semester. We were in Provo for a few days moving Rusty in, going to the movies, visiting Grandma and Grandpa, shopping at Ikea, eating and then we drove back to Reno. We were back in Reno for the New Year. New Years Eve we had dinner at home, saw the second National Treasure and then rang in the new year on top of a parking garage so we could watch the fire works. The rest of the week was wonderfully relaxing and great to be with family. On Saturday we were suppose to leave but a huge storm blew in and we ended up staying in Reno an extra 3 days. It was nice to get to stay a little longer but the best part was all the snow.
Soda loved the snow
our 7' snowman
It was so nice to be home.
